I've recently researched this a bit. If I actually had any money this would be a close contender: http://www.dyna-ski.com/

If you are looking for higher end bowrider, you should check out Azure and Southwind (same outboard bowriders/deckboats, different names on them). See Azureboats.com and Southwindboats.com

Re: outboard powered bowriders

Widen your search to what is called a dual console or side consoles boat. Many serious brands do not refer to their bow riders as "bow riders" because that terminology is kinda considered a lower rung boat much for the same reason we cannot call a station wagon a "station" wagon anymore but instead call it a cross over or a sport utility.

No serious offshore fisherman would consider his dual console a bow rider even though it is. Boston Whaler, Grady White and tons of others make such boats.

DC and BR are two different boat, even if the lay out is very similar the hull are totally different, the DC's have the same hull use on CC & WA (deep V), personnally love DC's especially if you go salt water, but not as comfy as a BR or runabout

and my personnal favorite.....

Thanks but I would call those a bow rider. I understand that those are intended for a different use than the lake boat variety. Nice boats, you have good taste.

How about a nice 27'er

Or perhaps a 22'er

I think that one of the main things that distinguishes the dual console from the generic bow rider is not size or length but is that they have a full liner and self bailing design features. Most bow riders would fill with water and deep six but the dc would remain, well, high and dry.

If you're lookin' for a real sporty bow rider Checkmate makes some great looking models, from 16' up to (I think) 24' for outboards.
